Doom III recently won the E3 2002 Game Critics Award for Best of Show. Under development at id Software, Doom III is a retelling of the 1990s classic first-person shooter, Doom.

Here is a clip from the E3 Awards:

With a franchise as powerful as that bearing the name Doom, gamers demand that each iteration represents “the next big thing.” Watching programming legend John Carmack manipulate the lone marine through the claustrophobic corridors, it was easy to get caught up in the revolutionary steps embodied by the technology on display. And all of that would do an injustice to the entrancing glimpses of terrifying gameplay, mixing hellish monsters with expert manipulation of the new technology. The buzz generated by this early show made Doom III the indisputable “must see” of E3 2002, and rightly deserves the recognition of Game of Show.
